Book Synopsis
Written in the wake of a family tragedy, Flowers for Alex presents the first year of grief following the murder of Stotts' brother, Alex Oyombe Gradin, by gun violence. Through a diary-like, chronological record, Stotts explores the cycles of death and rebirth, not only in physical death, but in all of life's joys and heartbreaks - in love, break ups, mental health struggles, a global pandemic, spiritual growth, and in the expansion of consciousness.
